Digestive problems post-birth

[katiegolightly]

I've always had a fairly robust gut but have had repeated digestive problems following the birth of my baby 4 months ago.

Symptoms closely mirror coeliac disease or IBS and have been a bit relentless.

Just wondered if anyone has suffered from a sudden change like this post-baby?

My symptoms started about 6 months after DC2 was born. I suspected coeliac and IBS, but the pains have just got worse and worse.

I've been to see the GP today and now we suspect gallstones and I'm being sent for a scan.

Gallstones are seemingly quite common post-natal, especially if you add weight loss into the mix. A friend of mine had kidney stones after her DC2. It may well not be, but go and see your GP and ask for a scan.

Yep horrible!! I feel awful after having DC!! I do have gall stones though (awaiting gall bladder removal) so not sure if that is the route of my problems or general post birth :( your not alone with the way your feeling. Keep your chin up xxxx
